Method

Toss chicken in 1 tsp jerk seasoning and a little salt and pepper. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan, quickly brown the chicken, then remove. Tip in the remaining oil, onions and coriander stalks, then soften for 5 mins, stirring in the remaining jerk seasoning for the final min.

Return the drumsticks to the pan, pour over the tomatoes, then bring to a simmer. Cover, then cook for 20 mins. Remove the lid, stir in the beans, then cook for 10 mins more. Scatter with coriander and serve with rice.

Comments, questions and tips

Not really an original recipe if one of the main components is a store bought, ready made sauce/seasoning. This is more like following the instructions on the back of a packet of Schwartz with a few added ingredients. Disappointed.

I have read quite a few comments from people saying that it was bland, I made this but tweaked it, firstly used authentic jerk seasoning not the watered down Schwartz version. I never ever use the weak marinades or spices that lack a kick that you can pick off any shelf in a supermarket. Marinaded the chicken over night, that's a must for me when making any dish using Caribbean or Asian spices. And lastly used maybe 75% of ONE tin of tomatoes not two.

Made this recipe using Dunn's River Jerk Seasoning- found it in the World's Foods aisle in a supermarket-it came out delicious! Also simmered it for longer than recipe stated, the sauce got really thick and full of flavour.Will definitely come back to this recipe.

Made this last night and it was a real success!! I maybe simmered it for longer than it stated on here to really thicken the sauce. I served with coconut rice, sweet potato fries and corn on the cob! Lovely!

We all loved this & will definitely be making it again, it's so quick & easy. I used chicken breasts as that's all I had, & substituted the kidney beans for cannellini beans as that's all I had in. Served with brown basmati rice cooked in vegetable stock flavoured water. Will try the lime juice as suggested as that sounds good too.

I also slit the chicken and marinated it for a few hours in the fridge.

I thought this dish was ok but I agree, making it with a dash of lime juice, cubed chicken breast and sweet potato would make it taste even better!

I loved this dinner, though it was too hot for my wife. Of course I was using a jerk paste rather than powder and still used the 4 tablespoons! Didn't read the recipe well enough heh. Will defenitely be making it again, but will probably trial it with just 1.5 spoons of paste. Flavour was beautiful.

Recipe is for 4 teaspoons not tablespoons! But having said that I always use much more as it's so much more tasty!
